IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1

Release Notes

Sametime

Internet e-mail addresses not supported in LDAP attribute

If a Sametime server is setup to use an LDAP directory, there is an optional setting in stconfig.nsf that specifies the LDAP attribute to use for the internal Sametime ID of a user. This setting cannot contain an LDAP attribute that holds the internet e-mail address for users. If it does, then web conferences that are restricted to certain users will not work properly, and other user-restriction related features may be broken in Sametime.

Sametime

No test or self-signed certificates for HTTPS proxy connections

The Sametime client supports using HTTPS proxy connections (forward or reverse). However, when using HTTPS connections, the HTTPS server must be using certificates from a Root Certificate Authority. The Sametime client will refuse connections to HTTPS servers that use a test or self-signed certificate. Only valid certificates, from certificate authorities which can actually be authenticated, can be used.

Sametime

Users appear offline logging into discrete nodes of a cluster

Users in the buddy list are associated with a community; a community is unique, according to a hostname and user ID. Therefore, when logging into discrete hosts that represent a single, logical Sametime server, a new community is created for each one. Users associated with a particular community will only show awareness when logged into that community's host. This may be avoided by simply changing the host value of the community in the login dialog or community configuration page to the desired target host.

Known problems and workarounds

Installation issues

Sametime

Sametime setup fails when xACL enabled for Domino Directory

Currently, Sametime cannot be installed successfully when the Domino Directory (names.nsf) is configured to use an extended ACL (xACL). In order to install Sametime successfully, a customer must first disable xACL support for the Domino Directory. After installing Sametime, the customer may then re-enable the xACL. Extended ACL support can be configured by opening names.nsf in a Notes client, navigating to File -> Database -> Access Control, and then clicking on the Advanced tab.

Sametime Gateway

Tab order problems in installation program

When running the installation program, several panels do not exhibit tabbing behavior correctly and may skip certain buttons on the panel. To get to all the buttons, use Shift+Tab instead.
